Even an 2003 Nigerian used Corolla that was flogged in Uber can never be undervalued this much![/color]

These Indians are everywhere
Nawa o but when they were in power the leader don't behave like kemi

[color=royalblue]I hope you're aware that Kemi's proposal will also affect Indians.[/color]

Theflint1:
Anybody can contest election in any state, and people do, even last Edo governorship election, there was an Igbo woman running under one mushroom party like that. People just happen to have a much higher chance in Lagos because it's the most heterogenous state in the country, hence why you see it happen a lot more frequently.

[color=royalblue]Maybe I didn't put it well, but the context here was in the changes of being accepted and winning.

Kemi isn't a British by birth. She contested and won.

I doubt if someone who's not Edo by birth, can contest and win[/color]

GloriousGbola:
She is an UK citizen Because of liberal policies. She was born in UK before 1983. She would not be in UK today without those policies.

[color=royalblue]We know, and we agree

But then, 15 isn't too much in my opinion.

Can a UK citizen come to Lagos, live for 6 years and be able to contest for LG Chairman?[/color]

iamoyindamola:
I don't know they do in anambra I know anyone can contest in Lagos
Forget those thugs that threaten iya chidinma, it's now a matter of can you win or not
I am not from Lagos but can still contest

[color=royalblue]Nigeria has 36 states.

You mentioned only one.

Oya mention another one. I'll wait [/color]

[color=royalblue]31 new states?

[/color]

iamoyindamola:
If it was a white man that's planning the law I won't have issues
But from we we that benefitted from the same system is wickedness
I have this feeling she doesn't want competition from the Nigeria migrants

[color=royalblue]She is proposing 15 years, of which I am sure she has done...Not bad.

Can you contest or claim to be Anambra, despite living there and being a Nigerian all your life?[/color]

iamoyindamola:
What do you mean by 6 years is too small
For that 6 years you are contributing to the development of the country one way or the other
You are making it sound like they are doing them a favour whereas it's the other way round
80% of those born in that country don't want to work or do anything tangible, most of the work are done by the immigrants
The tution fees are fvcking expensive yet the immigrants pay, so they just want to collect their money
Was kemi born in youkay? , she's becoming an hypocrite

[color=royalblue]

I would have agreed with you, if Nigeria itself was not way worse.

Kemi is right on this one.[/color]

TrebleChamp:
Shaw is available for just £50m, he will hit the ground running at Chelshit like Scamcho is currently doing.

[color=royalblue]How about you throw in £30 million and Shaw, to pick up Chilwell?

It's a good deal, and a way to say sorry for the mistake we made on Mount's fee[/color]

Lana1:
I will sacrifice your life if you dont leave this place 😒

[color=royalblue]Shaw sacrificed his life for this club.

Let's not forget that![/color]

chrisooblog:
Was reading how USAID has also impacted and aided our agricultural sector over the years.

So it's not only health that will be disrupted.

As much as part of me wants our leaders to take responsibility instead of using foreign interventions like USAID as excuses to shirk their duties the sudden end to these programs can only have a detrimental effect on heavily reliant countries such as Nigeria.

[color=royalblue] Exactly

As a common Nigerian, the effect would be detrimental.[/color]

Ibime:
Don't worry, Bill Gates will step in

Una wey dy cuss Bill Gates before now, una go beg am

[color=royalblue]The goal is to let our leaders sit up naa

So even Bill gates own, we no want. [/color]

liveLongNprospa:
Nigeria is not ready to even solve her most common issue that is power generation, it's now health issue that is complex that you think this government will even attempt to solve without any support.

We are playing with fire and it will burn everybody

[color=royalblue]Nooo, our leaders will wake up and do the right thing

The nauseating part is that the corruption exposed in the USAID has almost nothing to do with Nigeria. The funding for transgender orientation and books abi na whatever whatever no concern us

Because of USAID, millions of kids can have vaccines and drugs, communities can have some sort of healthcare and the list continues

And I would be happy to see it stopped?

[/color]

seankafor:
nwanne, if the anarchy wan swallow us, let it swallow us ..

Who even tell you that the so called politicians are safe from the anarchy if at all it looms like you predicted?

If it's the anarchy that's bring a reset to the settings of the country,so be it..

[color=royalblue]Ahh. My agenda and yours are different.[/color]

seankafor:
bro, all of us in the goddamn country..

The leaders are our extensions..they didn't fall from heaven..

Next 30-50-70 years, it'd be our mates that'd be there if not some of them already there..

I mean everyone in the god forsaken country when I mean we

[color=royalblue]Let me and you just be alive. God should keep us alive

The woman that was killed by gunmen in Anambra, Soludo did not lose sleep or cry. He went about his business, strategizing for 2nd term

The same for those kidnapped or due to poor health facilities died.

Just sha, stay alive, and let the anarchy not swallow us. [/color]

[color=royalblue] Nigeria is broke, Nigeria is broke, Tinubu still bought get and built brand new house for VP.

If the whole universe doesn't give us 1 naira, they will still buy jet, build house and buy 2027 Land cruiser next year

And if a common man think aids should stop, so the government can wake up, then na the common man gan gan dey sleep [/color]

iamoyindamola:
I can assure you when the anarchy starts, a hair in their body won't be affected
Na we we go suffer am

[color=royalblue]I am quite surprised Nigerians still think our leaders lose sleep in situations like this.[/color]

seankafor:
so we should all cry because the tables which crumbs we re feeding on offed the tap ?

Isn't it better we face the consequences for our inaptitude, stupidity than cry because USA choose to prioritise themselves?

[color=royalblue]We?

Who's the "We"? Tinubu, State governors, Minsters?

Define the "We", then let's know who exactly will face the consequences.[/color]

Unlimited22:
The naïveté is in expecting Nigerian leaders to step up.

Brother I served in the north, and as izzou said, there are a lot of places where the entire heath and education systems are staffed entirely by NGOs and Corps members.

Anarchy looms.

[color=royalblue]

The problem with the anarchy is that when it comes, but the person clapping for Trump and those who wished it didn't happen would be involved.

A Nigerian who benefits one way or the other from aids is happy that the aid is about to be stopped? I struggle to comprehend that

Na when all the displaced people for North run come South, we go begin ask where governors and Tinubu dey

Sadly, those ones dey use JBL headset. Dem no dey hear us. [/color]

BlueRayDick:
It's either our leaders do something or we face the adverse effect na.

[color=royalblue]I want to assume the "We" in your statement is I and you

Because if you think any leader is losing sleep about what will happen, na joke be that.

That is why I am weeping in my heart that these aids are about to stop. When the outbreaks, crimes, kidnappings start, na still the common man be the only beneficiary [/color]

BlueRayDick:
The reality is u cannot blame a foreign government for ur own country 4cking u over . We have billions of naira siphoned from our budget which should’ve catered for those needs without requiring any foreign government’s aid.

Just look at the image below , if we are not ready to fight against such issues , then we are not ready . Feeling sad about Trump turning off the tap on some of the funds that are still being diverted will not change anything .

Even the so called aids , some of those items still get diverted . That’s how u will see them selling mosquito nets with inscription “ not for sale” in the market .

[color=royalblue]I am not blaming anyone for keeping their money. I am simply telling the adverse effects of what is about to happen.

I have been to two communities in Nigeria where 100% of their health and education demands are from NGOs and Churches.

Take that away, and you'll have a jungle manifesting.

Another round of unrepairable damage is coming.[/color]

BlueRayDick:
The problem with ur police/army analogy is that we do not have control over aids received or witheld by the US, unlike we having a hold on scrapping or not scrapping the police/army.

The fact that we are relying on another country to provide basic things such as health care, education and food shows we are already 1,000,000 years behind. Whether we like it or not, we will get weaned of this undeserved "free meals" one day because we just cannot be babies forever.

If any African country goes to shiit because the US withdraws its aid to third world countries, it just shoes we are not ready.

The problem is a lot of people don't know how bad our leaders have done us dirty. I was reading a finance report recently and I saw where the author mentioned that in 2020 Nigerian Naira exchanged for N600/1$ and in 2024 when the report was prepared the Naira now exchanges for N1,600/1$.

Conversely the Indian Rupee exchanged for INR84/1$ in 2022 and in 2024 when the report was prepared the Indian Rupee exchnages for INR77/1$ meaning that the Rupee has gained against the dollar.

The Indians must be really doing something right because if two business men get funds to invest; one in the Indian economy and the other in the Nigerian economy. It is obvious the Indian investor is already ahead because he doesn't have to worry much about foreign exchange risk unlike the Nigerian investor who is already on the backfoot due to the foreign exchange risk that may make his business management decisions look poor no matter how much he tries.

[color=royalblue]I don't know about other African countries, but Nigeria is not ready.

When those aids stop, IDP camps will start having shortages, and the destitutes then will find their way to our cities. Before you know it,crimes we cannot explain will start happening.

As a nobody, who knows my government doesn't care, I am about to get more fckked.

The reality shows that the disadvantages are way much more, than any progress we hope to record.[/color]

FakeNEWSevryday:
When one door closes, a better one will open. However, if, at this stage, we still rely on the United States to provide for us what we are capable of obtaining or producing ourselves, then we are not truly independent. This dependence is a form of modern colonization, restricting our growth, self-reliance, and progress, mentally, physically, and scientifically.

A nation that becomes accustomed to receiving aid or free resources loses the drive to innovate and develop its own capabilities. The more we depend on external support, the less we invest in our own potential. True independence is not just political, it is economic, technological, and intellectual. When we rely on handouts, we condition our minds to expect rather than create, to receive rather than produce.
The question is, Who does the US depend on?
They are self-sufficient, that's why they give a damn for anybody.
History has shown that great nations rise through self-sufficiency, resilience, and determination. No country has ever achieved lasting greatness by depending on another. To break free from the chains of dependency, we must take control of our own resources, invest in our own industries, and cultivate a mindset of innovation. Only then can we achieve true sovereignty and ensure a future where we are not just surviving but thriving on our own terms.
I support him wholeheartedly.

[color=royalblue]I am not against anything you wrote there oh. Walahi, I support you.

But you and I can have this understanding because we are educated, exposed, have a source of income and we are informed

Sadly, a large (I mean...Very large) of our population is not

We can support Trump because we can afford food, vaccines, and drugs. Well, millions of Nigerians are on the path to death, if these aids stop.

If after weighing reality, you are ready to support millions dying, so we can truly be an independent nation, well....I respect your opinion [/color]

BlueRayDick:
Well, I don’t know much about the NGO side of things over here but we have been hearing how some of these NGOs are front for clandestine operations in the troubled parts of Nigeria .

Any way u look at it, something has to give .

[color=royalblue]It is just like saying we should scrap the Police or Army because we heard they are involved in terrorism and corruption.

You're not wrong, but imagine a Nigeria with no Police... I'm sure we would beg the corrupt version to come back.

We about to go 15 steps backward if those aids removed. Na the truth be that.[/color]

iamoyindamola:
I read the hiv drugs will be very expensive going forward
People will die o

[color=royalblue]Is it just HIV?

From various vaccines to multivitamins, most are from aids.

The Malaria drugs you buy, there are places where it has to be given free. And na NGO dey fund am, year in, year out.

Omoh, the cons are massive if those funds are stopped[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Exactly

[color=royalblue]As common as Vitamin A, Nigerian government cannot give its citizens for free.

NGOs will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to make sure babies in the deepest part of our states have that pill in their mouth.

Maybe SA does not receive aids like Nigeria, but Nigeria is a very big beneficiary of these aids.

Any Nigerian cheering Trump on this has no idea of the great losses we are about to experience [/color]

BlueRayDick:
If that will bring peace to most part of Africa where the NGO has been used as a front to destabilize , then so be it . Let the people in the NGO sector lose their jobs so real peace can happen o.

What one has been reading about the NGO sector and insecurity has not been pleasing to the eye at all

[color=royalblue]Peace?

Forget the jobs lost, do you know how many millions are benefitting from the NGO sector?

From health, to food, to education?

Na now the chaos start. Na now e wan even start well well.[/color]

Yeah up there too,He is British Nigerian...

Psquare not only had the best albums with replay value,they also had the best and cleanest videos in that era....We dey always anticipate their music videos da year,Roll it was 🔥🔥

[color=royalblue]True

Their videos were fire then.

Maybe it's me, but we were not really looking up to artistes winning Grammys. We were very contented with our local and African recognitions.

Na now everybody dey focus on Grammy.[/color]
